Superman / Batman #82

A visibly strained Superman reaches out with a blindingly luminous hand as a horde of ghoulish, undead figures closes in around him from every side — it's a striking image that immediately signals this arc is pushing the Man of Steel into genuinely unsettling supernatural territory. "Sorcerer Kings, Part Two," written by Cullen Bunn with interior art by ChrisCross and Marc Deering, continues what looks to be a dark, magic-drenched chapter in the long-running Superman/Batman series. Travel Foreman's cover work captures a Superman who looks battered and desperate, making this 2011 issue a compelling pick for fans of superhero stories that venture into horror-tinged corners of the DC Universe.
